Motte Rimrock Reserve

Information

Motte Rimrock Reserve (MRR) is located in Riverside County north of Perris. The site, which became part of the NRS in 1976, is known for its diverse habitats and rocky outcrops. On-site archival collections cover both the MRR and its two satellite reserves: Box Springs Reserve (BSR) and Emerson Oaks Reserve (EOR). Among other topics, these materials describe the role of MRR and its staff in conservation efforts for the surrounding region.
